omg. someone make nark prime minister.

as for the video of zambrotta's supposed handball....and it being deliberate...LOL

first off, it doesnt really look like it hit his arm. comes off his chest/stomach, and deflects forward.

secondly. did you not see the australian in front of him attempting the scissor? so when he missed, zambrotta has about .01 of a second to see the ball coming at him

third, he must have eyes in the back of his head as well to know that if he put his arm there, it would directly impede the path to viduka's foot. lets face it, if it did make it to vidukas foot he probably would have messed it up anyway :D

he looks to be VERY close to an offside position as well...i wont comment for sure because of the poor camera angle :laugh:

and implying that he deliberately handballed it to stop it getting to viduka....i wont even comment on that :D

Have a look at the video a few more times. My opinon

- It did hit his hand, if it didn't the ball would of deflected of the side of his thigh, and continued behind him.

- It hit his arm/hand after hitting his thigh, which caused the ball to drop to his feet...

- Why were his hands there in the first place? even tho the scissor was attempted in front of him, he still knew where the ball was coming from and where it was going, hence why he put himself correctly between viduka and the ball. He knew if no one interfeared with the ball it was coming exactly where it did, why? because he's a professional, thats his job to predect these things. Whenever i take a ball like that i never have my hands by my side like that, you don't do it for hte risk, unless you actually want them there for a reason (to give you more width).

regardless it wasn't as clear cut as i first thought, so i can forgive the ref not giving that one, why? because there was doubt.... just like the 'dive'... there must of been doubt there too, but he gave that.

I hope ukraine get a penalty tonight with 8 seconds to go for diving in the penalty box with the score 0-0.... I don't think Ukraine will have as many supporters in australia as they will tonight... and for good reason :P

maybe, to the ref, who makes the call, there wasn't any doubt. like i said, he sees it in real time, and doesn't have a .gif file replaying over and over.

FORZA AZZURI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who watched the game?

if you told someone the score it wouldn't do the win any justice....90 seconds to go in the second half of extra time....pirlo with the through ball to grosso, who wraps it around the keeper perfectly!

a minute later italy break on the counter attack, and fantastic awareness by gillardino to tap it back for del piero, to stride in and finish it off beyond all doubt!

I almost went through the roof when Grosso scored....and I think my neighbours got an earlier wake up than they'd have liked.

Grosso looks like a duck.

so? what a farking goal >_<

Iaquinta was fantastic. played EXTREMELY well. he's an attacker, but played some defense as well as thats what was neccessary...and he both attacked and defended fantasticly.

gillardino almost scored straight away, and zambrotta moments later....o much for italy playing defense...even after grosso scored, they didnt all run back and crowd the defense.
